Alpine (F1) Radish Seed

Product ID:2473.112473

Traditional Korean radish with exceptional flavor.

Alpine, with its 5–8" x 2–2 1/2" roots, is the most common type grown for kimchi in Korea. The smooth, attractive roots are white with green shoulders, and are sweeter than the long, white, Japanese types. A better choice than the long types for rocky soils and better flavor, especially in warm weather. Bolt tolerance makes it suitable for spring and summer sowings. For fresh use, pickling/fermenting, and storage.

Specs:

  • Packet: 100 seeds
  • Avg. 40,200 seeds/lb
